Perception development kit for autonomous driving mobility

Tier IV provides an open source software stack (Autoware) and state-of-the-art hardware components along with the necessary development tools and implementation documentation to enable all players in the market to participate in autonomous driving application development. . By utilizing this product, users can speedily build an autonomous driving research and development environment, and it is possible to significantly reduce the time to market for their own products. In addition, since this product is a customizable platform, it is possible to configure a system with various combinations of multiple sensors and ECU candidates according to the different requirements of each use case.

Automotive HDR Camera C1 / C2

In-vehicle cameras that meet stringent quality requirements for in-vehicle use. There are 2 types of resolution (C1: 2.5Mpix, C2: 5.4Mpix) and multiple angle of view (lens, 4 types of narrow angle/standard/wide angle/ultra wide angle) options. Adopting Sony Semiconductor Solutions automotive image sensors, required for automotive cameras
・High dynamic range (120dB)
・LED flicker reduction function
・High sensitivity, low noise
is realized. Equipped with GMSL2 interface, it supports direct connection with each ECU. In addition, it supports shutter control using FSYNC signals, making it the ideal camera for sensor fusion recognition systems that require high synchronization accuracy between systems.
We also offer GMSL2-USB3 conversion kits and dedicated housings as options. The GMSL2-USB3 conversion kit enables application development that takes advantage of in-vehicle quality image quality even with various computers that do not have a GMSL2 port. In addition, it can be used in scenes where robustness is required by using a special housing that enhances anti-reflection and waterproof effects.

Sensor fusion development kit

The sensor fusion development kit provides a combination of Tier IV's C1 and C2 cameras, multiple ECUs (*), LiDAR (*), and an object recognition application (OSS) based on sensor fusion that runs on ROS. We provide know-how on calibration between sensors and construction of a synchronization system, which are essential for building a sensor fusion system, along with OSS tools and introduction documents. Users can plug-and-play start developing their own products using Tier IV's proven hardware and applications for autonomous driving development.
